Lebron, Kyrie, and Love all sitting tonight versus Clippers, so we should be only 1.5 games behind Cleveland after tonight.

Hornets up 2 over the Wizards in the 3rd. A loss for Washington tonight would be great.

Cleveland resting everyone and now down 15.

Might be 1.5 GB of 1 seed and now 2 games above Washington.

Let's hope the Celtics play with more fire and beat Philly tomorrow.

It may be a trap game and we have no IT but these games we can't afford to lose if we are serious about getting a 2 seed (or even 1).

They were bound to. The rest of the schedule is about to get brutal for them.

That was some dumb basketball on both sides to end that game, about as bad as you can get with all those mistakes.

Wizards will be ready come Monday. Regardless of tomorrow need to win that game. Would just about be a wrap on the 2 seed if so.

This looks more like fear than rest.

I think they prefer to avoid Miami in the 1st round.

Miami could easily end up the 6th or 7th seed, no point in trying to avoid them, just get the best seed possible.

With the Bucks losing tonight, Miami is now the 7 seed.  Not that far behind Indiana either (2 games in the loss column).

Miami has a tough game vs Portland tomorrow, and Waiters is likely out with an ankle sprain.  But the game is in Miami and their two most important players (Dragic/Whiteside) have been balling out.  Should be a good matchup, as both teams are fighting for their 'playoff' lives, and I especially look forward to Lillard v Dragic and Nurkic v Whiteside.  CJ might be the difference, although the Johnson brothers (Tyler and James) have been playing really good too.

Boston needs to just focus on winning their own games and whatever happens, happens.  But if there was one team to avoid, it's obviously the Heat.  This isn't just some streak they are on, watching their games and looking deeper into the numbers this is more likely far closer to what they are than their early season, injury plagued, poor play may have alluded to.  People dismissing the Heat aren't paying enough attention to reasons behind Miami's success of late.
